Vibe in Missouri

Hey guys,

I’m from a very blue state and Missouri is super red. For people who also came from more blue states, do you feel like St. Louis or Missouri is hard to adjust to? I’ve mainly been surrounded by liberals all my life so I’m kind of scared of what’s to come.

Thanks for your help.

What is the Social Life like?

Hi, I'm looking to apply here soon and just wanted to get some insight on what the community is like. I'm also from the Midwest/Southwest, so I think the cultures will be kind of similar. Are there a lot of parties? Are people overall welcoming/friendly? Are there a lot of clubs?

(For context I want to apply to the Economics + Strategy program at Olin, so if you have any tips on that, they're more than welcome)

Also, any other pros and cons you guys may have from your experience at WashU would be much appreciated!

Looking for a sublet

Hello,

I’m a 3rd year law student who is looking to rent a place for the spring semester (Jan-May). If possible would prefer something that is walking distance to WashU and partially/fully furnished. I’m fairly quiet, clean, and spend most of my time at the law school studying haha. Feel free to message me. Thanks

When should I sign a lease by? Any recommendations?

Hi, I'm trying to get off-campus housing for next year (2025-2026) so when should I sign a lease by? Because I am currently awaiting on a friend for a response about whether he wants to room with me so I need a good idea of what timing I need to hit with signing a lease in order to get good housing at a good price. Also, is it too late for me to get the best apartments (in terms of bang per buck) close to WashU? I was also wondering if y'all got recommendations for places to stay too. Thanks!

Hi everyone, I am a sophomore looking for housing options for the next study year. It can be either on campus or off campus. It would be very helpful if you could share your experience (and maybe photos).

Chances for the new Public Health & Society Major

I'm an international student who applied to WashU for ED1. I've been wanting to apply to WashU since my sophomore year in high school and I also love Public Health so when I read about the launch of the new Public Health & Society major, I was soo psyched so I applied.

The only thing is I'm stressed about my SAT score because I got a 1480 ( 750 EBRW & 730 M) but I later realized that it is below the 25th percentile. I didn't know about CDS till last two days or else I would have hesitated. My school doesn't do GPA but my transcript is mostly A's and a few B's. Would my SAT score be much of a problem? If you have been admitted with a similar score please can you share your experience? Thank you in advance ☺️.

ED Timing

Asking current students what ED timing looked like. Did they announce before the specified date? Did it come in the mail? The portal? Stressing bc other schools EDs are admitting before the date they specified

SlideRoom for Arts and Sciences

There's an option to submit a portfolio for arts and sciences, and I've made 3 short films that could set me apart, but don't really connect to what I'm applying for. Would it hurt my application to submit these?

Hitzeman delivery over break

Hi, does anyone know how package delivery to the Hitzeman mail room over Thanksgiving break works? I saw that they're closed in the days surrounding Thanksgiving; do packages just get left outside? Asking because what I'm getting is slightly expensive and I don't want to risk it getting lost.
